Hard Times in Springsteenville

Why I love The Onion.

A Major Award

I was pleased to hear this morning that my favorite columnist, Paul Krugman, is the winner of this year’s Nobel Prize for economics.  Obviously, I am no economist, and I cannot understand half of what Dr. Krugman writes in his academic papers (he’s a professor at Princeton), but his columns in the New York Times are enlightening, and I try to never miss them.  Three years ago he saw that there were bad economic times on the horizon.
